(SOLD) Bird Series~
During the year of Covid lockdown, I found myself reading alot on my deck.
I started to appreciate how many birds would visit my yard.
Since the River Arts District , including this studio , was closed for the year, working from home became my normal routine.
Unable to travel for new reference material, my feathered friends became my models.
I bought several feeders and so began my love for birds and painting them.
It was featured in “Asheville Made” as part of an article on what artists were up to during the pandemic. Almost all of these paintings have sold. I think my little feathered friends rewarded me for feeding them so well!
Framed and ready to perch on your walls. Season 2 begins!

UPDATE: SOLD. - Tried a new paper . At first I thought I couldn't work with it. But once I figured out how the surface reacted to my different pastels I was able to get something down. Had to use a sponge tip applicator for most of this. A bare finger for blending just wasn't working for me as it does with my other go to paper. 9x12 Pastel on PastelMat paper.

Update: SOLD. Lost Bucket . A memento from my recent trip to Stowe Vt. Ya never know what you’ll come across in the backwoods Skiing in Mt Mansfield. 12x16 Pastel on Uart board.

I posted my latest piece this morning on my Instagram account. Someone just texted me and bought it! I’ve been trying to get away from the red palette and dive into blues/greens but these hot colors have been very popular. I’m so grateful to make sales during this time. I think I’ll open a bottle of RED to thank this delicious color palette! Follow me on Instagram! lc.photo

Congratulations to Lucy Cobos on the latest "In Solidarity" artwork sale, which went to JaQuan, a music teacher at Asheville High. This could not have gone to a more perfect home than his!
